1) A diagnosis with no test will mean people spontaneously recover anyway. Including Cancer with no Cancer test.
2) If you believe CFS is Fukuda CFS and nothing else, then yes, people do recover from CFS, end of debate.
3) If you however believe there is an organic disease or diseases within CFS, then there is zero evidence anyone has ever recovered from these since it's inception in 1988 as we don't know what CFS is yet and thus cannot respond to stories of recovery with honest acceptance of these stories as 'fact' as we don't know what these people had wrong with them to begin with, including themselves!

During the course of the study, Kelly identified more than seventy-five factors that cancer survivors said they used as a part of their healing journey. Nine of these factors were used by almost every one of them. They are as follows:

There is no straight line to be drawn. That would be most satisfying and we'd all be significantly better by now.
You have cfs and you're actually sticking up for Mickel therapy?
With a much less researched condition like ME, and me having realized how research in pharmaceutical compounds is set up (just for profit and a 1-3% improvement in 5-year mortality in major chronic diseases), I do stay open-minded to all options. And respect everyone's decision not to.
In the end each will be the responsible for one's decision. And in my case I'm simply glad to have rejected standard medical procedures against CVD, and followed anecdotal evidence instead. An other would have to be glad with his decision to follow the standard medical procedures, and the evidenced 1-3% 5-year mortality reduction only.
